Employers underpay their workers by an estimated $50 billion every year through various forms of wage theft. That's more than every type of property crime COMBINED. DoorDash alone paid a $131.5 million settlement in New York City for underpaying their delivery drivers.

Seattle city council's District 5 has been held by pro-business backed candidates for a long time. Debora Juarez has held this seat on-and-off for nearly a decade. Cathy Moore won the seat in 2024, but resigned 18 months later. There is a special election *right now* to fill the seat until 2028.

If you've been paying attention to the news recently, you may be wondering: what's going on in City Hall? What you might not have heard is that we are doing the work and getting real results for Seattle residents.

I'm hearing some concerns up about implementing "no turn on red" as a default policy in Seattle, so it's worth remembering that allowing turns on red only saves "1-5 seconds" on average for 🚗 drivers, meanwhile it increases 🚶🏼 crashes 60% and 🚴🏾‍♀️ crashes 100%.

Best voting guide 4 u

Left: leftycheatsheet.org and the urbanist. Use if your fave Seattle city councilmember is Alexis Rinck or Eddie Lin. If your fave national politician is Mamdani or AOC.

Center: fuse voter guide. Use if your fave seattle councilmember is Joy Hollingsworth. If your fave national politician is Biden.

Right: Seattle times. Use if your fave Seattle councilmember is Maritza Rivera. If your fave national politicians are Trump, Vance, desantis, rfk jr etc 😵
